Doha: The View Hospital, in affiliation with Cedars-Sinai, has introduced Qatar’s first 3D CT Gastric Volume Study—an advanced diagnostic imaging service aimed at enhancing post-operative care for bariatric patients. This cutting-edge technology allows for highly detailed, three-dimensional assessment of the stomach following weight-loss surgery, offering clinicians precise insights into the patient’s anatomical changes, potential complications, and overall surgical outcomes.
Designed
specifically for individuals who have undergone bariatric procedures, the 3D CT
Gastric Volume Study enables physicians to better understand the size, shape,
and structure of the remaining stomach. This advanced imaging allows for more
accurate follow-up care, helping medical teams monitor patient progress, detect
structural irregularities, and make informed decisions regarding diet, recovery
plans, or further interventions. It is also a valuable tool for identifying
early signs of nutritional deficiencies or surgical complications.
Dr. Jassim Fakhro, Senior Consultant in Metabolic and
Bariatric Surgery and Medical Director of Qatari Physicians at The View
Hospital, emphasized the importance of this innovation: “Bariatric surgery is
only the beginning. Continuous, precise monitoring is essential for long-term
success. This technology provides us with critical data to better support our
patients’ post-surgical journey.” The technology is also vital in planning
revisional bariatric surgeries in cases of weight regain or severe GERD,
helping surgeons make more accurate and safer decisions.
Commenting on the
launch, Dr. Fatih Mehmet Gul, CEO of The View Hospital, stated, “We are proud
to be the first in Qatar to offer this advanced service. It reflects our
commitment to medical innovation and personalized patient care.” With the
addition of the 3D CT Gastric Volume Study, The View Hospital solidifies its
role as a leader in precision medicine and advanced healthcare in Qatar,
raising the standard for bariatric follow-up and surgical planning across the
region.
